cycle wing edging

Will I need to put edging on these? If so is it required all round? Or just on the front edge and maybe back along the sides for an inch or two?







If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

I would say yes, herringbone all the way around.

they're mine!!! LOL

Actually they are a Dax copy, I took a mould from the originals and then made em out of carbon.

Anyway, back to a more serious note, edging?? Herringbone is not an option!!!!!!

They will need covering fully for SVA IMHO.

IIRC you can get herringbone with and without internal metal springing. Get the one without which shouldn't damage the wings and then let it fall off post SVA.

Was going to use rubber u section with a dab of super glue in the underside edge. Just wasnt sure if a/ It was needed and b/ if it was needed all round!

Yup, can make as many as I like!!

Well, as pointed out before fit a HUGE indicator carring bull bar and theres no need to spoil the wings.

No trim round my cycle wings at SVA. They were behind the front of the car so out of the test.

Oh, and how much are you charging for a pair??

dax sell you some small rubber edging stuff for this (come in one of the packs or a couple of £)

most people seem to attach it with silicon and it mysteriously falls off on the way home from the test

I'm sure someone on the other forum will have some spare

We used small rubber U section on ours for SVA in 2004. It's still on now, that superglue was good.
